Produce the soothing sounds of the rainforest with this gorgeous bamboo rainstick.

Its bamboo construction makes this Meinl Rainstick a pleasant effect instrument, with plenty of projection and long sustain. It may be played like a big shaker in addition to making the traditional slow rain wash effect.

As a percussionist, I own a lot of Meinl gear becaues it's generally well made, durable and performs admirably. This rainstick was a major disappointment. Right out of the box, it's very quiet compared to any other rainstick I've used (natural or artificial). The ends of the internal spikes stick out of the body, making it uncomfortable to hold, and you can't slide it in your hands. After two gigs, one end cap fell apart, indicating that the whole thing will soon be disintegrating. I hate to say it, but this is a piece of junk.

Very economical and beautiful sounding instrument. Must have for the versatile percussionistsVery well built and contstructed. Beautifully made and paintedExcellent quality very good design.Excellent value, priced many others, but this rainstick is well worth the price. Very good investment.

Good unit. Would give it a 10 if it hadn't of split open. I have the large stick and it has a good sound that can go for a while.Nice stick until I picked it up today and found it had split open. I have only owned it 8 months.

I own the small size Rainstick. It's good for the price. I bought the small rainstick so it would fit in my stickbag. The only drawback to the small size is it doesn't last very long & it's not very loud. I can deal with it though. i just wanted something small enough to keep in my bag so I can have it with me at all times.
